The 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards came to an end. "Seoul Spring" won the Best Work Award. Starring Hwang Jung-min and "Broken Tomb" star Kim Go-eun won the Best Actor and Actor.

"Dream Song" won the best screenplay and best new director, and "Veteran 2" won two awards: best supporting actor and best technical (action).

The Blue Dragon Film Awards, the Daejong Awards and the Baeksang Arts Awards are among the three major film awards in South Korea. It has been in existence for more than 60 years, and its gold content is self-evident. Therefore, the Blue Dragon Award is not only the award-winning works, but also the entire shortlist of films, which can be used as a benchmark for domestic movie fans to select Korean movies.

Let’s get back to the topic we want to talk about this time. First of all, why is it said that the Qinglong Award has taken away the fig leaf of domestic entertainment?

Comparing the changes in the film and television and entertainment industries in China and South Korea, one is the rapid development of eccentricity, and the other is professional and serious and consistent. In recent years, various domestic awards and activities, large and small, have emerged one after another. Naming, sponsorship, ratings, celebrities, Internet celebrities, and traffic are king. Even some authoritative film awards have begun to favor popular actors and stars. Everything They all look at "money" and only focus on flow. So much so that for many awards, there will be a lot of unfairness and a lot of doubts.

The Blue Dragon Award has developed a more standardized and reasonable award process to make the awards awarded more authoritative and credible. The first step of the Blue Dragon Award is for the audience to vote online. However, the audience for the Photography Award, Technology Award, and Screenplay Award do not have the right to vote, and the selection is directly made by the jury. This rule is very reasonable. Photography and technical awards belong to professional categories, so they must be handed over to professionals. The audience cannot see the script, so it is very reasonable for the jury to select the awards.

After the audience votes for the shortlist, the jury will then vote to select the final award. In order to prevent the judges from being "public relations", the list of judges will not be announced until the award ceremony, which is more suspenseful. Moreover, the entire judging activity is conducted in a closed space. No one can know the list of winners until the winners are announced. This is different from domestic entertainment. After all, many domestic activities notify the winners in advance, so that celebrities can An itinerary will be arranged.

Another fig leaf that tears away the internal entertainment is the Blue Dragon Award's tolerant attitude towards Zheng Yusheng.

Not long ago, Jung Woo-sung, who was nominated for Best Actor at the same time as Hwang Jung-min for Spring in Seoul, was rumored to have had an illegitimate child. The woman was model Wen Jiafei who was 16 years younger than him. At this time, Zheng Yusheng also had another amateur girlfriend he was dating, as well as the actor Shin Hyun Bin who was having an affair with him.

In Mainland China, having an illegitimate child may be forgiven (refer to Hua Chenyu ), but having an illegitimate child while dating other members of the opposite sex will definitely ruin the house. Not only will such a star be removed from the award ceremony, but it will also be difficult for him to appear again in the future. In film and television works.

However, Zheng Woosung appeared at the award ceremony unaffected. He responded to the illegitimate child controversy, saying that he did not want his personal affairs to affect the movie, "I am sorry to disappoint everyone who has given me love and help. I hope all accusations are directed at me alone." . As a father, I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities to my son until the end.”

There is no doubt that Jung Woo-sung, who has flaws in his personal ethics, is a rare good actor in South Korea. If blocking him due to personal ethics issues is a loss to the film industry, then at least it is correct to tolerate him in the film field, as long as it is not a matter of principle. , I really hope that domestic entertainment can also be more open. Just appreciate the characters and their performances. Actors and characters should be separated.

Secondly, why are Chinese filmmakers collectively sweating?

Because of the previous Blue Dragon Awards, our filmmakers have realized time and time again that maybe in another 100 years, we will not be able to reach such a large scale and such a high level of Korean movies.

Set the time back to 2019. Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" won the Best Picture at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards, becoming the pride of Korean movies. Later, the President of South Korea personally hosted a banquet for the film's creators, and solemnly promised Bong Joon-ho at the banquet that he would not interfere with or restrict film creation.

Many people have watched "Parasite". Through an exaggerated, absurd, slightly comical, but at the same time quite realistic story, the movie bitterly satirizes the current survival situation of the Korean people, and at the same time takes into account both entertainment and business. Sex, whether it is subject matter, scale or creative techniques, is worth learning.

"Seoul Spring", which won the Best Film and Best Actor at the Blue Dragon Awards this year, is a bolder political theme. It tells the story of the confrontation between the two forces after South Korean President Park Chung-hee was shot dead by a henchman in the last century. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and the loser will become a traitor to Korea.

Director Kim Sung-soo is really great. It is easy to fall into boring narrative history. Under his control, it is always tense and exciting for 141 minutes, and the high-burning rhythm and atmosphere never let up. What's even more rare is that, completely different from mainland works of the same theme, "Seoul Spring" is not a battle between good and evil. The movie stands on a fairly neutral position, directly faces the struggle between both sides, and vividly explains "winners lose and losers". Such a movie The movie also explores and presents the actors' acting skills to the greatest extent. Huang Zhengmin and Zheng Yusheng both contributed their own highlight moments, and their performances were unforgettable. We didn’t have movies like

in the past and now, and it’s hard to say whether there will be in the future. Looking back at the Golden Rooster Awards that just passed, " Volunteer Army: Heroes Attack " won the best director and the "Special Jury Award". In contrast, are our filmmakers collectively sweating?

One last word, the difference between the Qinglong Award and all domestic awards lies in the award setting.

Domestic general technical awards will include photography, art, music, recording, editing, and action. But the Blue Dragon Award has an additional "lighting". This time, photography and lighting were awarded to "Broken Tomb" together.

Lighting is equivalent to lighting. The setting of this award is fair and considerate. In the film shooting process, the importance of lighting is actually no less important than that of photography. However, the props department often takes orders from the art department. Lighting usually serves the director of photography. The lighting team People do the most tiring work of the whole group, but they often don't get attention. The Blue Dragon Award sets up lighting awards, which is equivalent to giving the lighting group an opportunity to display collectively. This is also worth learning.
